### 5/5 — Good to go

*2026-07-31, version 0.88.7*

Most recent update fixed my problem! 

Tbh this app fixes something I miss since transitioning to iOS from Samsung, days until / countdown

### 4/5 — Great app with free widgets, but minor bug recently

*2026-07-16, version 0.88.4*

Outside has been a great app for countdowns, and since I started using it at the start of this summer it’s been great! Even with just the free features there is a great amount of customization, and it’s been a great app. However, a few days ago I started seeing a bug I’d never had before. I like to put my countdowns in days and turn on detailed units, which in the past has been great. However, recently my countdowns have all been a day off. I have one for tomorrow that should be less than 24h away, but it currently says 1 day 20 hours instead of just 20 hours. Similarly, for something I have two weeks from today, it says 14 days 15 hours etc instead of 13 days 15 hours. This does not completely break functionality, since if I turn off detailed units it still effectively  counts the right number of days, just rounding up rather than down. Still, this was not something I experienced on countdowns even a week ago.

### 3/5 — Was working until iOS update and all my countdowns are lost

*2026-07-14, version 0.88.3*

App asked to sign up thought it would remember / retain what I had on my other phone but it just deleted the data on that phone as well smh 🤦‍♀️

### 1/5 — Days are less than 24 hours!

*2026-07-13, version 0.88.2*

Why since yesterday has my countdown moved from 78 to last night 77 and now 76 days? Not a good countdown

### 3/5 — Can’t add photos to more than one.

*2026-07-08, version 0.88.1*

I tried to do a lifetime subscription but couldn’t get more than one to add a photo.  Not user friendly app at all. I deleted it.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-06-25, version 0.88.0*

Been using this for over a year. Super simple, great UX. 9/10!

### 1/5 — Scammed

*2026-06-25, version 0.88.0*

When I first got this app, I thought it was great, I could communicate, post and me and my significant other can easily navigate through the app. Now it wants us to pay to chat, makes the app hard to navigate due to them wanting us to pay for a subscription. What a huge downfall

### 1/5 — Annoying

*2026-06-17, version 0.87.8*

This app is the most annoying thing I have ever used. Someone tried to share an event with me and I tried to download it and the app made me jump through absolute hoops to do anything. Horribly annoying. Do not recommend unless you enjoy putting yourself through tedious tasks

### 2/5 — Cool concept

*2026-06-12, version 0.87.7*

It’s a cool concept but it wouldn’t let me share my countdown which was the whole point of downloading the app so I deleted it.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2026-06-10, version 0.87.7*

No hiding things behind paywalls, great and simple app. It would be good to countdown in weeks as well.
